Guyana’s Mathematics performance at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) level shows a modest improvement in 2026. The national pass rate increases to 34.5% from 32% in 2025, according to the Ministry of Education and Chief Education Officer Saddam Hussain.
Both outlets report that the 2026 results are presented as evidence of targeted interventions to support schools, including those in the hinterland. Kaieteur News adds an example of Belladrum Secondary, which reportedly moves from a 0% pass rate to 81.49% passes, highlighting large gains at specific schools.
While both sources focus on the same overall national figure and the role of Ministry-led support, they differ mainly in emphasis: Guyana Chronicle highlights hinterland schools making major gains and frames the improvement as part of broader interventions, while Kaieteur News also spotlights individual school progress. No other countries, exam changes, or additional subject results are detailed in the excerpts provided.
